039 - Myles Alexander of Form & Function Architecture on Doing “Okay-ish” in Asheville

Myles Alexander is truly one of a kind. In episode 26, with Holiday Grooms, we mentioned that a gentleman is someone who puts their guests at ease. Myles is a gentleman. While he says that his architecture business is decidedly left of center and "not your mamma's architecture firm" — he shows an endearing appreciation for history and irreverence for tradition for tradition's sake. We think you'll dig this episode.

Here’s What You’ll Learn:

• Myles’ journey to becoming an architect and starting his own firm in Asheville
• A behind-the-scenes glimpse of Smoky Park Supper Club’s architectural design completed by Myles (aka the only reason to use shipping containers in a build)
• Insight on what it’s like to work with an architect (it's like a marriage)
• Inputs vs. outputs (and which to focus on)
• Doing what you love versus what other people love (and why you should do what you love)
• Tips for smoking meat (from Myles, a champion competition smoker)
• Myles’ favorite places to eat in and around Asheville
